Full time student, part time landscaper, hardcore steelheader

Like AKings, I am in tackle sales during the day and in the adult entertainment business at night.

In other words, I accept money for chances at the infamous pink worm...during both day & night!!

Lead/manager at a large software company. While the main site is in Redmond, I work out of Issaquah. Since I live in N Bend, my home waters range from the Snoqualmie forks and Rattlesnake lake to Lake Sammamish and Pine Lake. Oh, and my favorite pit stop in the morning consists of the best steelhead holes on the Snoqualmie between the falls and just below Fall City. Flexible hours and causual dress = lot's of fishing time on the way to work or during lunch.

i'm a sales engineer for company that designs and installs paint systems for manufactures. Liquid and powder coating systems for companies that build planes, truck or anything that needs a coating like fishing lures and boats. Sometimes it gets in the way of my fishing, but it helps support the habit.

I'm the guy some people have night sweats and wake up screaming about. I manage the MRI department for our local hospital. :p

The Mrs. & I own and operate The Real Estate Book of King County The Eastside...digest size magazine with homes for sale by Real Estate Professionals...make sure to pick one up when looking for you next house or Realtor:)

I'm the Art/Marketing Production Manager for a snowboard/skateboard manufacturing company. Basically, I sit on my A$$ behind a big computer screen all day.

We are one of the only remaining companies that build all our boards in the USA. All our competition has moved their production overseas, mostly to China.

We have a factory in Seattle and one in Sequim. We moved our department to the Sequim facility a year and a half ago, and I've fished a lot more as a result.

I'm a lawyer--the squawfish of professions.

The teacher summed up by saying, "Let me see . . .

You want me to go into that room with all those kids, and fill their every waking moment with a love for learning. Not only that, I'm to instill a sense of pride in their ethnicity, behaviorally modify disruptive behavior, and observe them for signs of abuse, drugs, and T-shirt messages. I am to fight the war on drugs and sexually transmitted diseases, check their backpacks for guns and raise their self-esteem. I'm to teach them patriotism, good citizenship, sportsmanship and fair play, how and where to register to vote, how to balance a checkbook and how to apply for a job, but I am never to ask if they are in this country illegally.

I am to check their heads occasionally for lice, maintain a safe environment, recognize signs of potentially antisocial behavior, offer advice, write letters of recommendation for student employment and scholarships, encourage respect for cultural diversity of others, and oh yeah, teach, always making sure I give the girls in my class fifty percent of my attention.

I'm required by my contract to be working, on my own time, summer and evenings and at my own expense towards additional certification, advance certification and a master's degree, to sponsor the junior class and after school I am to attend committee and faculty meetings and participate in staff development training to maintain my current certification and employment status.

I am to collect data and maintain all records to support and document our building's progress in the selected state mandated program to "assess and upgrade educational excellence in the public schools." I am to be a paragon of virtue larger than life, such that my very presence will awe my students into being obedient and respectful of authority. I am to pledge allegiance to supporting family values, a return to the basics, and my current administration.

I am to incorporate technology into the learning, but monitor all web sites for appropriateness while providing a personal one-on-one relationship with each student. I am to decide who might be potentially dangerous or liable to commit crimes in school or who is possibly being abused and I can be sent to jail for not mentioning these suspicions to those in authority. I am to make sure ALL students pass all mandated testing and all classes, whether or not they attend school on a regular basis or complete any of the work assigned. I am to communicate frequently with each student's parent by letter, phone, newsletter, and grade card.

I'm to do all of this with just a piece of chalk, a computer, a few books, a bulletin board, a 45 minutes or less plan time, and a big smile, on a starting salary that qualifies my family for food stamps in many states.

Is that all?”

Hey Tyler,

HELL NO, I don't work for K2, (as they say, f*ck2) they are one of the ones that moved all their stuff to China. They went from a peak of 600 employees on Vachon to 20 now... no wonder the people there are still pissed as DJ said.

K2 owns Ride and Morrow, they are all made in China. So are most of the Burtons. Salomon's boards are made in Tunesia, there are lots of other boards made in eastern Europe, and then a bunch built in government-subsidized factories in Austria

There are only a few US snowboard manufacturers left, and I work for by far the biggest one, Mervin Manufacturing. We make Lib Tech and Gnu snowboards, snowskateboards, composite street skateboards and Bent Metal snowboard bindings.
